The EU is about to sell our most sensitive data to the US for visa-free travel - European Digital Rights (EDRi)
The European Commission is currently finalising negotiations with the Trump administration to conclude an “Enhanced Border Security Partnership” (EBSP) Framework Agreement allowing border control authorities to screen travellers against biometric databases and profile them for security concerns. The leaked draft text suggests that the Commission significantly caved in to US’s excessive demands for unfettered information access, exacerbating travel surveillance and putting our fundamental rights at risk.
There is no clarity if this only applies for those applying for a visa to visit the USA or if it means USA will have unregulated access to EU-citizens databases.

EU is falling to the dark side...
I just commented something along these lines on another post of the same article. It really feels like we're entering darker times.
Thanks to
peopleidiots voting for populist fascists. It's a problem born from the lack of education and preparation for the internet.They are allowing the same fascism to take over. I wonder how much longer they will criticize the US for not doing anything about it before they realize they're screwed too.
The US is exporting their fascism through their established channels (media, sports, business, etc.)
